Audience- why and how do you consume music?

When?
I listen to music pretty much whenever I am travelling anywhere, whether that is walking or on a bus.I also listen to music whenever i am getting ready for somewhere especially a party to get me all hyped up.

The music I listen to varies on the time of day, for example: if i'm getting ready for a party or to go out I will listen to more upbeat music like 90s /00s club classics and dance music but when I'm walking somewhere it is where normally chart music.

Where?
I literally listen to music whenever i can and wherever it is acceptable too
. I also go to festival and see artists live with my family and friends as there is nothing better than hearing it live and everybody's happy vibes which creates a powerful atmosphere.

Who with?
I listen to music by myself and with friends depending on the type of music and the situation. Sometimes I just want to listen to music by myself as
a way of escaping but 
other times I just want to release some energy by dancing and singing at the top of my lungs. When listening to music at a party or festival I just love people who are't afraid to do some crazy moves or sing as loud as possible as it creates memories which are unforgettable. 

How?
I listen to music via streaming sites like Apple Music and Youtube
 which are great because every song that you may want to listen to is at your fingertips, ready and accessible whenever you want to listen to them. For example, just the other day I was on the walking and I wanted to listen to Justin Biebers new song  and because of applications like Apple Music I was listening to 'Cold water' in seconds.
On Apple Music I can download songs permanently onto my phone so if I am in an airplane and have no internet connection, i will always have music available for me to listen too. Albums by people like Beyonce and Rihanna
 I have permanently downloaded as I know I will always listen to them no matter how many times i have heard their songs.

Why?
Music has always been really importune to me, ever since I was a kid. I have always looked up to people like Beyonce and strived to be just as successful and strong as they are in whatever I do. Beyonce's strength and beauty has always empowered me to be strong and to keep on fighting, which I get sounds strange because I've never met her but the way she conducts herself in public and the messages she puts across through her music is so powerful and is so identifiable and relatable to all of her fans around the world.
Not only that but music has the power to change things which is something people seem to have forgotten over the years. One song can define an age or a whole movement. Thriller was so powerful and phenomenal at the time that it kickstarted a whole new style of music videos and songs like Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan were so moving during the 1960s as they campaigned for peace during a time of war. 

Personal Identification: The mood I'm in affects the music that I listen to because music is so expressive and can fit perfectly with what I'm trying to say or how I feel. Whenever I'm angry or frustrated I'll leave my house, take a walk and listen to rap music like Kanye West's Black Skinhead because it is so passionate and angry that it can mimic my anger so effortlessly.
Information: Sometimes songs can actually help you learn a topic or new words. For me,black eyed peas as i learnt about all the terrorism which still exists through the song where is the love.
Social Interaction: When my friends and I are together we often listen to music from the songs which have been the top of the charts over summer as that is when we spend the most time together or we were together when it was being played at festival another music genre we listen to is the music from when we were growing up (90s and 00s) and so that era of music joins us together. .
Mood Music: Whenever I'm getting ready, 90s club classics are always my go to genre of music because they get me excited as it brings back happy memories and isnt like some of the music today which is just about sex and violence.
